Since they first opened the network the price per kWh has *always* been different for Teslas vs other EVs, with a membership required for other EVs to get the same rates as a Tesla.

That's been the case since they opened up the network though. That isn't a "change"

I'm aware of that :). My point was that if a Tesla account has never charged a non-Tesla EV, there's little point in them receiving this email if it only affects pricing for non Tesla EVs

In which case why email Tesla-only accounts (since it doesn't affect them)?

There's a few different ways you can read this email. Is it the price of "membership" itself that's changing? If so, strange that it's just the UK Is it the way that member vs non-member pricing works changing - ie does this mean Tesla owners can get membership pricing when charging their...

The large power going through the cables requires quite a lot of cooling. Extended the cables isn't a trivially simple, or cheap change. Certainly not something they'd want to do with guaranteed income to offset the additional cost. Not to say it isn't possible, but it's not as simple as you're...

Videos from a couple of days ago show LHD cars being driven into the parking lot by the car transporters, e.g. Black car driven in at lower middle, followed a bit later by a white one. Both LHD. [Edited to add more info]

> am I right in thinking that the car is 'intelligent' enough to only charge to say 90% (or some other value) during the cheap rate time and then do the last 10% top-up just prior to departing? No.

The Shanghai fly-over videos from Wu Wa on Youtube recently seem to show LHD vehicles

Once it reaches 80% it'll stop and go to sleep. When the charge drops "a bit" (normally 2-3%) - it'll charge up again. Certainly doesn't keep trickling it into the battery

No. That's always been the case - exactly the same in my 2019 LR. The "new" batteries (LFP), only in the made-in-China SR+ remove the "daily" limit entirely. With those you can (are recommended?) to charge to 100% regularly.

Not sure that's quite the case. I think it's your first supercharge on collection day. Certainly when I picked up my last Tesla, and my wife's model 3 we got app access straight away at handover, but supercharged for free at Abington on the way home an hour or so later....

The 'collection-from-the-docks' thing isn't M3 performance-specific so probably already covered in one of the more general purpose threads ...

The issue is that it takes a month for cars to get from Fremont or Shanghai into the hands of customers, and Tesla don't want cars in-transit at the end of the quarter. They want every car that they build in a quarter, delivered in that quarter. As a result, the last month of a quarter (June) is...

That's still not the right country for some of us ...

That's what I'd heard. Thanks for the update! Hope your collection went OK :)

Tesla don't have to. People have been tracking which ships are delivery Teslas for years now. It's very possible without Tesla confirming anything due to the ports used and various publicly available information.

Don't worry. You'll have plenty to do scouring forums for people posting dashcam footage of car transporters... (voice of experience here)

Be careful if you do (17 & 18) https://www.abports.co.uk/media/qipmlcji/abp-port-rules-2016-v2.pdf I'll be sticking with although not sure if we'll see it on there (maybe briefly)

Doesn't seem like she'll be in Le Havre long (5am arrival - leaving again by early evening?) - do we know what she's doing there?

I've got a collection from Glasgow later this month (was originally booked at Edinburgh, but changed randomly when I got my collection appointment 🤷‍♂️). Has anyone got any recent experience there? Is it a proper service centre setup yet? or is it still essentially a couple of portacabins & a...

It's based on which Tesla branch is registering the vehicle and which DVLA office they're attached to. That *should* relate to the service centre you're picking up from (as an example, I live in Cumbria, but my current model 3 is an SL19 reg as I collected from Edinburgh). Does that make sense?

Just need to wait and see if she sets her destination to Zeebrugge or Southampton now ...

For balance, we have two EVs in the house (both model 3), and only a single chargepoint. I can't think of a single time in 12 months of dual ownership that we would have needed two. I appreciate it does depend on what vehicles you own and what your driving profiles are though. Although one of...

When it's time to pay, there will be a "Final Invoice" available against the car in your account on the Tesla website. That has details of the bank to send the payment to.

Doubt it. The earliest delivery dates we've seen (17th June?) are quite a long way out for the cars to be on Glovis Sun.

Hyperion Ray is advertising its position again. Currently between Eritrea & Saudi Arabia.

If she'd been hit with missiles, or sunk I'm pretty sure it would have made the news. She's almost certainly still fine. The stars are educated guesses I believe.

For a "cash" purchase, at some point prior to collection they'll produce a final invoice (available in your account) and reach out to you for payment (bank transfer). Based on personal experience that could be anywhere from 2 weeks before collection to 2 days. If you have banking limits that...

Collection scheduled for 21st June :)

Text-tastic. I just got the "car has been allocated" text as well...

I've not pestered chat, but now showing a VIN in the source. 241xxx. Jan 8th order

I was confused by the photo you posted of the fabric ones :) As far as I know, Tesla have never stocked them since the model 3 arrived in the UK. I got a rubber bootliner from WeatherTech direct for my LR, and am just moving that to the P when it arrives. Never bothered with internal ones...

Fabric ones? They come with the car ... Only SR+ doesn't come with mats

They should be able to give you a quote against the model, you shouldn't need a VIN, or reg, then you just add those to finalise the policy at, or just before collection.

It happened a lot when model 3s first came out in the UK. In the period between ordering open (May 1st 2019) and the main set of deliveries* starting (August 2019) some people had 3 or 4 different VINs assigned (I had 2 myself, the second being the car I actually got). I suspect it happens less...

No. Nearer the time you may need it to finalise your insurance (if you don't have the registration), but at this point, it's largely irrelevant other than the "confidence" that you have been assigned a physical car. However, that confidence can be misleading. People have had VINs rescinded, or...

If you go to your Tesla account, and click on the order, then it'll be on that page. If you're familiar with Chrome dev tools then you can use the console to interrogate the Javascript directly - it should appear in one (or both - I can't recall) of the following: Alternatively, just view the...

Are "hidden VIN" in the account pages still a thing? The equivalent place it appeared on my order back in 2019 is still blank for my new order. Not sure if that's because they no longer show up at all, the allocation hasn't been done yet, or that the allocation's happened but just hasn't reached...

It's definitely possible. Unfortunately, due to the way Tesla handle international deliveries at the end of quarters, if you miss this it would be likely to be back half of August for the next imports.

Not quite. All "models approved for sale" after July 2019 have to have it. The Model 3 was approved for sale in the UK prior to July 2019. Additionally though, all cars sold after July 2021 have to have it irrespective of when that model was approved for sale.

My guess is by boat. I'd also guess that was why there were no Ps shipped in Q1....

Easier to check the specs of the inventory models which are in the same batch, e.g. 2021 Tesla M3 Performance in GB listed at £59,990 As already discussed earlier in this thread, they appear to have BT42 battery code, which apparently maps to 82kWh pack which would be Panasonic I believe.

The VIN doesn't tell you that.

Yes. Everyone (bar one). If what we've heard is accurate you should hear an update on the next week or so...

I emailed Tesla about my order, and got the following reply. You may have seen that today Model 3 Performance vehicles have appeared in our inventory. All of our existing orders, included yours have now been assigned a vehicle, and the team are going to procedurally work through these. The...

Do they store cars dockside in Shanghai like in Fremont pre-loading do we know? I ask because RHD cars were leaving the factory on the 7th which would be odd timing for either of these if they didn't go into storage at the docks..

For inventory cars - that's correct. It's less true for cars you own, where the "hidden" data is much more limited.

RHD cars were being loaded onto transporters at Shanghai on the 7th May based on this: Check out the arm out of the RHS window of the white car moving onto the transporter at 5:54, the driver getting into the RHS at 6:15, and driver exiting vehicle on the transporter at 6:29.
